Hyderabad, August 27, 2025:
The **Telangana High Court** has come down heavily on the **Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC)** for allowing irregularities in the **Namitha 360 Life project** near Hitec City. The court imposed an immediate **stay order on the construction**, citing multiple violations and lapses in regulatory approvals.
### Court Questions GHMC’s Role
During the hearing, the High Court strongly criticized GHMC officials, questioning why the civic body failed to halt illegal construction activities. The bench noted that the project continued **without fire department NOC and airport clearance**, raising serious safety and compliance concerns.
The judges observed that despite suspending the project in **May 2025**, GHMC astonishingly issued renewed permissions within just one month without addressing the earlier violations. The court remarked: *“How can such illegalities be overlooked, and how can permissions be granted without rectifying the violations?”*
### Project Details and Violations
* The **Namitha Homes 360 Life project** is a high-rise venture with **25 floors** near Hyderabad’s IT hub.
* The project allegedly violated **zoning and construction norms**, with unauthorized additional floors being built.
* Missing **No Objection Certificates (NOCs)** from critical authorities such as the **fire department** and **airport authority** became a major point of contention.
### High Court’s Stay Order
The High Court ordered a **complete halt to construction activities** until all legal requirements and safety compliances are met. It also warned GHMC against granting permissions in violation of rules, stressing that **public safety cannot be compromised for commercial interests**.
### What Happens Next
The case has now placed GHMC under strict judicial scrutiny. Legal experts suggest that the civic body may have to **re-examine all clearances**, and the developer could face further penalties if irregularities are proven. Homebuyers have been advised to stay cautious until the legal process concludes.
✅ **Key Highlights:**
* Telangana High Court imposes **stay order** on Namitha 360 Life project near Hitec City.
* GHMC faces criticism for **failing to stop illegal construction**.
